Weekly Reading Recap

Another week over, another book finished. It took forever (not because it was boring, mind you, but because I had so much to do that I was too exhausted to read!), but I have finally finished The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry. It was really good, and not at all what I expected it to be (which is good, because I was worried it was going to be a bore). I'll be posting a review tomorrow. This week I also posted about the family vacation I will be taking soon, and I also posted about my excitement for Tatiana de Rosnay's new book, A Secret Kept. Today I started reading Audrey Niffeneger's The Time Traveler's Wife. It's going good so far and I plan on having it finished before I leave in a week. Of course just as I was getting really into it, my sister snatched it to take with her to work.....so then I picked up The Constant Gardener. I stopped by the library yesterday and got out my very first audiobook, Margaret Atwood's The Year of the Flood. I'm excited to listen to it on the way to and from Rhode Island! I've heard great things about this book and I hope I like it as much as people say I will.

Hope everyone had a great weekend and you're now nice and refreshed to start the work week. I know it's hard to enjoy Mondays (I'm not too fond of them either!), but let's try to make the most of it ;) At least we can come home and get lost in a book!

Anyone doing something fun this week? I'm going to the Vans Warped Tour on Wednesday. It's tradition and this will be year #7! Once I actually bought a poetry book by the singer of Big D and the Kids Table (one of my fave bands, by the way), and it was pretty awesome. Maybe I'll be lucky and find another book this year ;)
